The ruins of Urasoe Castle, which served as the royal palace before the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom was relocated to Shuri, are located on Maeda Kochi, a steep hill 120 meters above sea level in Urasoe City that was depicted in the Hollywood movie “Hacksaw Ridge.”

This is a quiet park where visitors can spend a leisurely day in a natural setting through such activities as hiking, camping and golfing. Spreading across the 160-meter high Mount Atta-dake, the park has trails and paths for nature exploration as well as a mountain stream.

According to Ryukyuan mythology, this is the place where the god Shinerikiyo and goddess Amamikiyo settled and raised their children. It is well known as a sacred site for couples to pray for fertility.
